Your heart is set on hairdressing, or perhaps you’re keen to begin earning money and you just want to start working as soon as possible!
Hairdressing is a fast-paced industry and trends are constantly changing. Professionals must not only look the part, they have to stay ahead of what’s fashionable and advise clients. Remember, every time a hairdresser styles a customer, they’re creating an “advert” for how good they are at their job. Word of mouth and recommendations is critical in developing a regular client base.
When you’re qualified, you’ll be rushed off your feet!
It’s common knowledge how hard hairdressers work. They’re on their feet all day, there is a constant stream of customers, they need to keep on top of bookings, recommend styles, sell products, remember customers at a personal level and keep abreast of trends – all this as well as making sure the salon is clean and tidy!
Enjoy your training. It’s hugely important and once you’re stood behind your first client with a pair of scissors you need to feel completely confident in your ability to make them look their best.

You can become a professional barber by following one out of four different courses/options. Here are the top four ways:
These can be anywhere from 6-12 weeks. You should invest a significant sum of money, but you will end up with a lot of knowledge and your skill set level will be high. You can pay your courses in installment payments (usually) and you can expect to work with hair-dressers and professionals at your own pace.
Some schools in London will provide you with 150 models for real-life haircuts. This way, you will develop as a barber. The school itself works in smaller groups and it provides an amazing 1:1 training experience. You can expect to finish this school in 3-4 years.
An apprenticeship is for people who are 16-18 years old. You will need to find a barbershop that is willing to take an apprentice and they should train you once a week. You will spend your first 6 to 12 months washing towels, sweeping floors, shampooing hair, and doing smaller tasks. Although it is a slower-paced program, you do not have to pay for it.
You can go to college and spend around 1-2 years while mastering your skills. Your college education will cost a lot less than private training, but it is quite time-consuming + there are not a lot of colleges to choose from.

If you are a barber you’ve probably mastered all of your skills by now and you know how to work with males and their textured cuts. If not, here are the top 4 skills that you should learn and embrace before you start working with your clients:
Learn how to cut, trim, style, and shape male hair. You should know how to cut & shape any length while still keeping their preferred outcome in mind. Try to be creative & step outside the box from time to time, people love creativity.
Since you are constantly working with guys you should also figure out how to shape beards. It is important to groom their beards, give them a clean shave, and help them achieve longer facial hair with the right set of products (that you’re going to recommend and sell from the shop).
Some barbers will work at a salon, others will be freelancers, and some will operate their own salon. If you end up starting your own business, you should have a strong business plan to obtain a loan from a bank, choose a location and purchase supplies and equipment. Make sure that you talk with someone and that you get their professional advice & help with this part.
Lastly, stay chatty and friendly! A lot of clients will want to make a bond with you, and they will prefer small talk over silence. Figure out how to approach a client and read their body language.

Beauty & makeup has evolved throughout the years. Nowadays you can find over 1,000 makeup brands, vegan & cruelty-free options, foundation colours catered towards every skin type, and products that work on both men and women! We live in a society, where we are just a click away from our favourite eyeshadow palette, as well as an opportunity to book a makeup appointment, eyebrow shaping, or waxing! However, it wasn’t that easy years ago. Here are some of the most unusual beauty trends, which were huge 100 years back.
Top 6 Items That Women Loved For Beauty Purposes
Applying henna to your hair is pretty common among women who want a natural and organic solution. If you dislike bleach and box-dye, you can always reach for henna! However, years back, henna was used to outline the eyes! It was some form of a shadow, which probably was impossible to remove and wash out. Women ended up with stained eyes, while now you can use any form of eyeshadow – from liquid to powder, as well as glitter – all which are safer to use than henna.
Belladonna is a plant which is also known as the deadly nightshade. Nowadays it is used for pain and is an active ingredient in some medication, while years back women used it to add softness to their eyes. Prolonged use of this ingredient had an impact on some women, where they would end up with hallucinations, and a rapid heartbeat.

Since concealer wasn’t a thing back in the day, people had to use some other, weird, ways to brighten up their skin. There was no loose powder either, and you couldn’t purchase a foundation that was lighter than your skin tone. In order to achieve that brighter appearance, a lot of women used lemon juice on their faces. However, nowadays, this move is not suggested nor recommended by dermatologists.
Wax was used in many different ways. Some women used it to give their skin some shine, and others have coated their lashes in it to separate them, and to give them volume! Only years later women started to experience with charcoal which would give them matte black lashes.

Rose water is used in some creams nowadays. However, before it was used to treat inflammation as well as dehydration of the skin. Women would apply raw rose fragrance to their skin in hopes that it wouldn’t break them out, and that it would do the opposite!
We are well aware that beet stains are impossible to remove, but this didn’t bother women 100 years ago. The beet juice was used to achieve any form of color – around your cheeks, lips, or even as an eyeshadow! It would take them days to remove the stain from their skin, and all they had to use was soap & water! Luckily nowadays, you can easily remove your makeup with 5-6 different kinds of makeup removers.
